Represented the client before the Delhi High Court in a writ petition NHAI filed by a Bidder, an important issue related to rejection of Application for pre-qualification (RFAQ) by NHAI was held to be justified. The RFAQ was rejected on the ground that the Contract of Associate Company of Applicant with NHAI was terminated. The contention of the Applicant that such rejection of RFAQ would amount to blacklisting of the Company was out rightly rejected. The High Court agreed with our arguments that disqualification in terms of Clause 2.2.7 of RFAQ was justified. In terms of Clause 2.2.7, the condition of ineligibility was attracted as the Associate Company of the Applicant was expelled by NHAI which would be a “public entity” as mentioned in the said clause. The High Court rejected the contention of the Petitioner that NHAI would not fall within the definition of any “public entity”.
